3. It appears that, till his 9th Class, the school records of the petitioner reflected his name and the name of mother and father as above i.e. as contained in the admission form.

4. However, it is averred that, in the mark sheet issued by the respondent-CBSE for the 10th Board class undertaken by the W.P.(C) 12541/2018 Page 1 of 3 petitioner, the surname “Suri” was not reflected and that the names of the petitioner, his father and mother were shown as “”Angad Singh”, “Pawandeep Singh” and “Avleen Kaur” respectively.

5. Qua the names of the petitioner and his father, therefore, the error was only in the omission of the surname “Suri”, whereas, in the name of the petitioner’s mother, her first name was also misspelt as “Avleen” instead “Awleen” instead of which was reflected in the Admission Form of the petitioner and his school records till class 9th.

6. The same error is reflected in the migration certificate and passing certificates issued by the CBSE.

, to correct the name of the petitioner, as well as his parents, in the class 10th and class 12th mark sheet, the passing certificate and migration certificates issued by the CBSE.

9. As the correction sought by the petitioner, if allowed, would bring the records of the CBSE in harmony with the admission form of the petitioner as well as in the petitioner’s school records every year till the 9th class, there can possibly be no objection to the prayer of the W.P.(C) 12541/2018 Page 2 of 3 petitioner.
